A recent Facebook-sponsored study showed smartphone owners are often connected all day. People can be found glued to their smartphones at airports, on trains, in restaurants and even while walking on the street, creating a disconnection from their immediate surroundings. Smartphone sales are expected to continue to surge in 2013 with some 918 million units to be bought worldwide. AFP PHOTO/ Nicolas ASFOURI (Photo credit should read NICOLAS ASFOURI/AFP/Getty Images)

How does it work? The app seeks to remove sex from the central focus of gay social networking, and enable users to discover new events, restaurants or vacation spots catered to their specific interests. Marketed as an app the user could could show to their mother, CEO Michael Belkin reportedly stated that he launched Distinc.tt because he became "disgusted by the tasteless torsos and imagery on gay social sites and apps... [and he wants] the good-taste part of the gay stereotype to gain traction with advertisers and cross the mainstream divide,” according to Back2Stonewall.

While there is currently a wait list for the app, Distinc.tt is offering a special offer to HuffPost readers. If you enter the code "HuffPostGay" on the app's website you can jump the queue for the free download!
